The Ideal Party

[Nitram]

I was just wondering what people would prefer to have in a party. I think about this all the time (Damn insomnia not letting me sleep:shok: ) and I wonder what everyone else thinks. We're all gonna have diferent opinions because we all level different jobs.

Couple of rules though::rtfm:

1. Your party cannot have more than 2 of the same job, ie: BLM BLM BLM BLM BLM WHM is not acceptable but WAR/NIN WAR/NIN DRG BLM BLM RDM is ok

2. Consider this a static party, meaning from level 10-75 you'd like to rock a static with this setup

I'll post my fav later, Have fun.:biggrin:

[Mokk]

Mnk/war, war/nin, whm/blm, rdm/blm, drg/war, blm/whm

Used to do this everytime i got a chance in bibiki and in the tree post 60. Mnk tank, trade with the war when stuff got hot, wicked heals/nukes/debuffs, and a drg to light SC like mad with post 65. By far the most fun config i'd ever run with.

Not a whole lot to run with early on but past 65 this setup was saweet.

 

[Dejan]

Nin/war
Thf/nin
sam/war
rdm/whm
brd/whm
blm/whm

Maybe just cause it was a pt i've done so many times on my brd that just pwnd...

Anyways, that's pretty much it, best config imo.

is war/nin war/nin war/mnk war/mnk rdm brd acceptable? cause 4X war/nin rdm and brd was one of my best party's i've ever had. also they could /thf whatever

Yah, that's a totally kickass endgame combo.
However, i think he meant a pt that could start from lvl10 and range up to 75.
That's what i based my pt on...
Anyways, yeah, War cannon just... pwns...

I'm a big fan of balanced parties with no double jobs. I also prefer safety over efficiency. This party covers all the bases, and has a lot of job overlap in case things go wrong.

Paladin
Warrior
Dark Knight
White Mage
Red Mage
Black Mage

 

[Ihryia]

Mnk/War
Mnk/War
Pld/War
Whm
Rdm
Brd

good from 10 all the way up to 75, just gotta make sure the Mnks bring some peebles or that the Brd knows how to pull well.

 

[Shaidalyn]

Currently? I've only gotten to 60... so I am not sure if this is acceptable in 65+
Rdm/Blm
Smn/Whm
Brd/Whm
Nin/War
Sam/War
Thf/Nin

I love the setup.. RdM for debuff/refresh/haste, Smn for special buffs/AMAZING bursts, Bard for songs, Nin tank, Sam DD/SCer, Thf pulls

Never tried this exactly, we had a BlM instead of a bard, but it worked amazing, another time we had Whm and Smn instead of Brd or Blm

WhM are nifty for RegenII/CuragaII/RaiseII/-na spells.. but.. are not -needed- with a Nin tank.

If not, this is my basic PT
Rdm/Blm
Whm/Smn
Blm/Whm
Sam/War
Nin/War
Thf/Nin

 

[Trippyhippy]

As far as somethin good to 75...

Nin/war
nin/war
Smn/whm
Smn/whm
Rdm/whm or Bard/whm
Sam/war then change to Sam/thf after 60

only one that would steal hate is the sam. and he has 3rd eye. Not much, but it helps.

That part would suck vs lizards of any kind. and things that use lots of AoE.

Another good one is:

Pld/war
Blm/whm
Whm/blm switch to /smn at 50
Brd/whm
War/mnk Gaxe or War/nin with 2 axes.
Sam/Whatever does most damage.

This party isn't highly dependant on anyone but the bard. Thankfully the bard need not worry about hate in this party as they are ALWAYS casting. Samurai pulls.

PLD DRK WAR RDM BLM WHM that rocks, got a war which is inbetween a drk and pld sorta(PLD is like a uber tanking war, and a dark is like an uber damage war) and great mage classes, yes that seems like a great pt at any level. cept until 20 a pld and a war are almost the exact same thing, about same def, just has curing abilities

 

[Rones]

2xmnk/nin, 2xwar/nin, 1xbrd, 1xrdm, and a load of exp mobs to tear through.

Oh scratch that. Didn't see you are talking 10 onward. I don't think there is one ideal setup all the way from 10 to 75. It changes greatly with lvl.

Indeed, but it really just depends on what you fight. Sometimes you just HAVE to have a whm... damn Petrify and such.

 

[Klepto_Pyro]

no not 1 bst, 6bst each with a jug pet, so thats like a party of 12, getting exp as a 6!

 

[Nitram]

interesting interesting

Well I was thinking:
PLD/WAR tank of course
DRG/WAR first voke/hate clearer
THF/NIN SATA puller
BLM/WHM?RDM nuke mb's and such
WHM/BLM?RDM Healer of course
BRD/WHM Bards rock

I prefer the paladin and white mage combo because its a safe bet and always works. Leaving out a whm just doesnt seem right to me. I like how hate is sealed so well with the melee set up here. On a side note I think this party could work extremely well w/o everyone using 1337 gear. I wish I could have a static similar to this.

Seriously though, BST cannon 4tw.

That ninja wouldn't be able to keep hate off of anything. It would bounce from the Monk to The Blm to the Drg, back to the monk, might hit the ninjas shadow every 5th attack. Forget the Blm and get another Ninja. That might help things out a bit.
